House GOP Polling Shows Impeachment Not Popular

October 8, 2019 · 7:22 am ET · Leave a Comment

Playbook: “House Republicans held a conference call Monday to discuss new polling commissioned by Team McCarthy and the NRCC, and the headline for the GOP is this: Just 37% of voters believe Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president is impeachable, while 59% say it was appropriate and not worthy of impeachment. 39% of independents say it is impeachable. (Republicans say this is strong polling for them, but Democrats would argue they haven’t publicly started prosecuting the case.)”

“In Trump districts represented by Democrats, 62% of those polled think it was appropriate and just 33% say it’s impeachable.”

Of course, this is quite different than the new Washington Post poll out this morning.
